Directors & Officers Liability

From the financial frauds of the early 2000s to the more recent meltdown of the financial markets, we have represented insurers in every major D&O event impacting the insurance markets over the last decade. Insurers rely on our in-depth understanding of securities laws, case law, dispute resolution processes, and insurance markets to evaluate and resolve even the most complex claims. When necessary, we litigate or arbitrate such claims across the United States and abroad.
